We don't have one squad member who isn't fun to be around. All of the AKs are super guys. For me at least, Nimitz is my favorite wingman cuz he usually kills everything around. Sometimes he leaves cripples so I can kill them.
I flew jugs with Ammo's guys (56thFG) for an entire month. Man, let me tell you, they know how to keep a jug out of harms way and yet stay in the thick of things. If you want to learn something about the P47, get in one and follow Ammo/Nomde/Sancho/Frenchy around. They'll teach you something.
Rude's crew (13th TAS) may well be the most professional group in here. When you wing with them, there is zero BS and constant 6 calls. It's a pure pleasure to be near them. Watch how two of them corral an aggressive bad guy. I fly with Rude and Sax whenever the opportunity presents itself. Always instructive.
I enjoy flying with Busher's group (Hornets.) The Hornets do a lot of base capture and field defense. It's always interesting to watch other squads - generally, I learn something.
The 99s and AKs have gamed together for about 4 years now. I know of no better guy than 99capera.
The Assassins have flown Bishop a bit and Eddiek and Lizard3 are a hoot. Bigmax, Hblair and Regurge always have something to teach me, even when they're rook.
Ripsnort's group (MAG-33) are simply awesome. I know of no other squad that can take a base down as quickly as MAG-33. Best of all, they usually do in some unusual way. The only bad thing about flying with Rip is that if you get too close, the glare from his head will temporarily blind you.
The FDBs (skernsk/math/fatty ...) are fun to watch. However, if you are in TOD with them, fair warning, do not fly close to them. They are prone to target practice (themselves/you/anything handy). The FDBs are the only squad that I've seen that "accidentally" kill each other while on the hotpad.
Many of the MAWs will shoot your lights out. 40Dog and Ice both come to mind - they are pleasant and excellent opponents - as are most of the MAWs.
In a word, Drex.
Drex is the best, hands down. If you haven't flown against drex, you're missing out. It doesn't matter what he is flying, he's better than you. A month or so ago, I was in a p47d11 around 12k with a friendly spit maybe 4k in front of me. I watched the spit approach an bad guy A20 and I thought "darn, he's gonna kill him before I get there." The A20 killed the spit in about 5 seconds and I eagerly jumped right in. I was reversed so fast, I ended up with my underwear on my head. Had I known it was Drex, I would have been more cautious and it would have taken him 10 seconds instead of 5.
I enjoyed flying against St.Santa, but alas, he's still locked up somewhere for comitting an public indecency on some poor, helpless girl's bicycle seat.
Old Torque was special too - I miss seeing him on a regular basis.
